Slipstream
1333 P St NW, Washington, DC
Crema's Take
“Slipstream is a beloved DC spot that takes real pride in their filter coffee program, offering thoughtfully curated options across flavor profiles like bright, fruity, and floral so you can dial in exactly what you're craving. Beyond the excellent espresso-focused drinks and creative house specials like their intriguing Venetian, they've built a welcoming atmosphere perfect for lingering over breakfast—their pastries and sandwiches (like the carrot cake bread and bacon jam egg and cheese) are genuinely worth ordering alongside your coffee.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

I ordered the Tahitian vanilla latte and the soup of the day which was tomato. The latte tasted like your standard latte, perfectly made. The tomato soup was hot, a little spicy, and had a rich tomato flavor. The croutons were a great added crunch on top. It came out to ~$14.…
